Apparatus and method for dynamically coordinating the delivery of computer readable media

A physical memory device having stored thereon a plurality of software components, said software components comprising:

• a client parser application configured to coordinate instantiation of networked information monitors on a computing platform with access to the physical memory device, said client parser application comprising:
• instructions configured to cause the computing platform to obtain networked information monitor templates over a network, wherein the obtained networked information monitor templates comprise:
• a first networked information monitor template associated with a first networked information monitor, the first networked information monitor template comprising (i) a definition of a first graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor within which content received in a protocol and format readable by a web browser having native network navigation controls may be presented, and (ii) an identifier for a first network location at which content for the first networked information monitor is accessible over the network, and
• a second networked information monitor template associated with a second networked information monitor distinct from the first networked information monitor, the second networked information monitor template comprising (i) a definition of a second graphical user interface of the second networked information monitor within which content received in a protocol and format readable by a web browser having native network navigation controls may be presented, and (ii) an identifier for a second network location at which content for the second networked information monitor is accessible over the network;
• instructions configured to cause the computing platform to display separate first and second graphical user interfaces of the first and second networked information monitors on a same device, wherein the first and second displayed graphical user interfaces of the first and second networked information monitors are outside of a window of and independent from any web browser application providing native network navigation controls, and wherein:
• the first graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor is defined by the first networked information monitor template, and
• the second graphical user interface of the second networked information monitor is defined by the second networked information monitor template;
• instructions configured to cause the computing platform to transmit requests for content for the first and second networked information monitors over the network, wherein the requests for the content comprise:
• a first request for the content for the first networked information monitor transmitted to the first network location, and
• a second request for the content for the second networked information monitor transmitted to the second network location;
• instructions configured to parse the content received over the network in response to the requests for the content for the first and second networked information monitors, the content being received over the network in a format or protocol readable by a web browser having native network navigation controls;
• and
• instructions configured to cause the computing platform to present the parsed content in an appropriate graphical user interface such that:
• the parsed content received in response to the first request is presented in the first graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor outside of the window of and independent from any web browser application providing native network navigation controls, and
• the parsed content received in response to the second request is presented in the second graphical user interface of the second networked information monitor outside of the window of and independent from any web browser application providing native network navigation controls.
